How to Weather that Road Trip Storm
As I write this, I’m looking at the weather radar map online. To the South there are some nasty-looking storms, complete with lots of rain, high winds, and talk of tornado warnings/watches. To the North there are hefty swirls of blue and pink, meaning snow and, everyone’s favorite, ice. To the East of us are …
Searching for a Magical Holiday Travel Experience, sans Meltdown
Do you remember that disagreement Jason and I were having about where to go on a trip during Christmas break this year? After much argument (yay holiday travel and trying to make everyone happy), too many ideas, and finally realizing we had one more week of university break to work with than we originally thought, …
An Ounce of Prep = A Pound of Prevention – Part 3
We like to travel as lightly as possible when we’re on our adventures. Usually, that means a carry-on suitcase and a backpack. Our carry-on bags are fairly standard Samsonite bags and have served us well. Our backpacks, on the other hand, are a little different.
An Ounce of Prep = A Pound of Prevention – Part 2
As we’ve discussed in prior posts, we’re big fans of (the responsible use of) travel credit cards. They come with perks and help us earn points/miles that help us get back out into the world faster and in more comfort than we otherwise might. That usually means that we have several of those cards with us on our travels. Sound familiar?

Person 2: Umm, I have pounds [useful in the UK], yes. P1: Not helpful, we’re going …
Counterspace Wars! Finding Your Fair Share in Scarce Spaces
As I write this, we’re sitting on a ferry taking us from Uig to the islands of Harris and Lewis, just off the West coast of Scotland. Despite the beautiful blue sky, the sea is a little choppy, which resulted in an unfortunate visit to the bathroom for some of the passengers who’d just finished …

When we first started traveling, the things we took were more basic in most cases. Clothes? Check. Phone? Yep. Money? In theory. However, the more we travel, and work on this blog while we …
Down the Rabbit Hole – Why We DIY Travel
More than once before we’ve talked about how we plan our own travel adventures. In a nutshell, we’re fans of DIY planning and find most things we do on our own, but that’s not how we started out. On the first three trips we took to other countries, we hired a travel agent to work …
